I'm trying to build a simple chatbot using Chatterbot and use it's corpus.
from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer
chatbot = ChatBot('Charlie')
corpus_trainer = ChatterBotCorpusTrainer(chatbot)
corpus_trainer.train('chatterbot.corpus.english')
response = chatbot.get_response(input())
print(response)
When I run, I get an error saying No such file or directory for the english corpus.
So I've tried installing chatterbot corpus by running pip install chatterbot_corpus, but keep getting the following error
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'PyYAML'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
I have also run conda remove PyYAML and tried again but still get the same error.
It would help to know what OS are you on. Because on Linux there is chance that PyYAML has been installed by OS and should be managed by OS-specific package manager.
Either way, you can just run pip with --ignore-installed switch and see what happens:
pip install --ignore-installed chatterbot_corpus
You can find more information on the nature of this error and more hints on the resolution in this elaborate answer.
